and it is about riots erupted in police officers, protesters and the country's quick to blame this week, u.s. president elect joe biden.

bringing you stories from the past 7 days and right up to the moment of elements as well. this is the weekly r t international hello and welcome fronts being gripped by overnight protests surrounding a new security bill, which could impose tough restrictions on the filming of police officers in the capital security forces fired tear gas to send it into chaos. the french interior minister says 23 police officers were injured. and 60 nationwide.

we've seen those tensions throughout the day as the protests, all tens of thousands of people take part. now it seems that there are just perhaps a few, 100 people who are holding out the police are trying to disperse them, but there is a huge security presence a. and so when you get a look down the street from where we are, and you can just see that there are rows and rows of c.r.'s vans. that gives you a sense of how many officers there are. in fact, just behind us, it looks like a water cannon is being moved away. these were brought out this one over to the

other side as well. these were poor type for the protests today. but these protests that started off a peacefully once again descended into violence here in paris though, these protests have been going for the last 3 weeks. but this has been the big one . and this is because, earlier this week, parliamentarian's here from the past the 1st stage of this really controversial law called the global security law. now it contains an article also called 24, which if this becomes a would criminalize the taking of images of the police and then publishing these, these images. if there is intent to harm the police offices, this could ensure that he's done is going to be able to continue feeling the answer is yes. are they going to be able to continue broadcasting? the answer is you should be allowed to feel police intervention. the answer is yes . the answer is yes. intent is

a concept that is open to interpretation and hard to determine any photos or video showing a dent a fireball police officers that are published or broadcast by critical media outlets or are accompanied by critical comments, could find themselves being accused of seeking to harm these police officers, for journalists, the legal risk exists, and the possibility of conviction would be real. it is not law yet. it's just passed the 1st hurdle. but people say that this gives the green light for the police to stop journalists from doing their job. the government says this moor is intended to give real security and protection to the police. and in fact, that's what one police officer said to us earlier this evening. this is about protecting them from the threats that they're facing in police union say the law doesn't go far enough, but the reality is, this has provoked huge, i don't just here in paris, but across the country where they would protest taking place against this people

who want to make sure that the government is aware that they are not happy with the law that they feel will restrict their, their freedoms and their rights in terms of liberty and that has spilled over into, i'll get, we saw a fireworks being used as the weapon of choice by the protesters, throwing those at the police in fact. so some images of with this photo it's appeared to be detonating under the feet of the police officers. we've seen the protesters setting fire to the bank of france. pins, huge choice being lit in the street and of course tear gas has rained down tension still high in parts of paris as there are those protests against this controversial law, the global security. well, this was the scene in central park a sun sunday morning after a wave of because were torched storefronts and bus stops mushed. dozens of arrests were made during saturday's arrest,

which involved an estimated 46000 people, journalist and political commentator, elizabeth muti. things authorities need to change their approach in order to calm the situation. think the government has trapped themselves because the, the bill itself is not necessarily all bad, but article $24.00 is something that has managed to bring together you position left and right. 8 the stream left and the conservative right saying that this is, this is contrary to not only is it contrary to essential liberties in front, but it could, it could make the not, it could make the lives of people much more dangerous and even make the work of police and more dangerous because they could be no trust anymore. thrills had last as long as the situation brought in. so many ways, almost all on police brutality,

but also on the town. and it's in the past 2 years. and it's so it's something that will have to find a solution, but it doesn't lie in an unsecured you, that's potentially empty constitutional. no. protesters in the iranian capital have been burning, is really un-american for condemnation of the killing of the country's top nuclear scientist, to tehran on israel. iranians are demanding retaliation for what the foreign minister has branded an act of state terror. it's fear the killing could affect the already faltering iran nuclear deal.

the unresolved assassination of one of iran's top nuclear scientists, or in the words of tehran, a terror attack carried out by the mercenaries of the usurping zionist regime. mileti, iran who the people of iran are smarter and wiser than falling into the trap of the zionist conspiracy. they are thinking of creating chaos. they should know that we already know their tricks, and they will not succeed in achieving their evil goals. both the zionist regime and those who are against iran should know that the path of the country's development, the path of the country's research will continue rapidly. terrorists murdered an eminent iranian scientists today. this cowardice with serious indications of israeli role shows desperate woman gring of perpetrators. iran cools on international community and especially e.u. to end the shameful double standards and condemn this act of states. tara iran's accusations have yet to evoke a response from israel. but this isn't exactly a unique situation many times over the past 10 years,

iran's nuclear scientists have been the victims of mysterious assassinations and iran is almost always convinced israel was behind it. israel's refusal to comment on the attacks has been common to all the 2018. the

country's prime minister claims the recently assassinated fuckers a day wasn't just a scientist knelt the head of an alleged nuclear weapons program in number, the named focus of the. so here's his director right here. and he says, the generally is to announce the closure project. but then he adds special activities. you know what that is? special activities will be carried out under the title of scientific know how developments. and in fact, this is exactly what iran proceeded to do. duran, however, has always said it enriches uranium for peaceful purposes. only. we are not seeking nuclear weapons, even if the g.c. pioli collapses. we won't seek nuclear weapons. if the safeguard agreement is destroying, we won't seek nuclear weapons. if our relations with the a is good or bad, he won't seek nuclear weapons. as in years before,

experts on both sides of the barricades are not seeing eye to eye. of course this assassination is illegal and it's an act of war. when that say a spy is arrested in iran or on a terrorist is arrested in iran, immediately western human rights organizations, governments, the media pundits, experts all say that they're innocent as if they have some sort of insider information. yet when these attacks are carried out, these attacks are carried out with the help of spies with the help of terrorists, and they gloat over it. and instead of condemning it, they go and you know, they try to make him look as if he's evil, these lows will respond. so you cannot put the blame on these will everything, disposable in the middle east and in prison. these bodies in the lead them identify them and if they claim that he's behind it, let's see if those people are really israelis right now. very

much in 2015, iran even agreed to limit its nuclear activities for the lifting of u.s., sanctions. it was part of the j. c.p.o., a deal between to iran, washington, russia, and other world powers the same deal that donald trump scrapped as the war steel ever in 2018. and to the great praise of israel, i went through how the last administration was disastrous. iran, if i didn't terminate that stupid. the deal was a disaster. the agreement that was signed was a disaster trumps withdrawal. drew a whirlwind of criticism throughout the globe and relations between the u.s. and iran are now at rock bottom. iran has even proclaimed to the un, it has the right to defend itself from provocations, both from israel and the u.s., but with joe biden preparing to take the throne. european powers have already sat down with him to rehash the deal with germany specifically urging all parties to avoid an escalation at any cost. a few weeks before the new u.s.

administration takes office. it is important to preserve the scope for talks with iran, so that the dispute over iran's nuclear program can be resolved through negotiations . we therefore urge all parties to refrain from any steps that could lead to a further escalation of the situation. by himself even said he's, considering diplomacy would offer to iran a credible pause. but to diplomacy. if iran returns to strict compliance with the nuclear deal, the united states would rejoin the agreements as a starting point for follow will negotiations. with our allies, we will work to strengthen and extend the nuclear deals provisions while also addressing other issues of concern. while iran definitely has plenty of concerns, especially after a 2nd top official, was assassinated in just one year. but who knows, maybe washington's new look, could rebuild the ruins of the j. c.p.o. a and even under a biden administration. that the purpose of u.s. foreign policy in the middle east is to read again, hedging monye over the entire region, including iran,

which it lost in the islamic revolution, which overthrow, overly that dictator, the shah. and so they would, the game is hedge of money dominance. and whether it's true or biden, that they, that is the game. or also this week joe biden announced his top cabinet picks for the white house. he said the world has its hopes resting on his team to restore america's role as a global leader. together these public servants will restore america globally scribal leadership and its moral leadership without engaging in needless military conflicts and our adversaries in check and terrorist at bay. while trump is not giving up all hope of overturning the result of the election. given the green light to allow a transition to begin, indeed a clearer picture is emerging of what a biden administration will look like. as

a turns out, many are a blast. from the past. america's foreign policy needs to be properly fixed after 4 years of diplomatic rock says one who says the man whose own white house mistakes as donald trump saw them, were thorley taken care of by the outgoing administration. the time has come for the u. turn to go full circle. there's been some damage done. that is going to take some time to dig ourselves out of. but there's no doubt that joe's got the right people to do it. the man taking over the oval office in 2021 was president obama's number 2. so who are the best people to set these apparent wrongs? right. well, the former deputies of obama's team, of course, how easy, i'm really starting to get that joke that barack scott himself a 3rd term. let's take a look at the collective portrait of

a deputy dream team. one squad member clearly thinks it was the meddling russians who god, donald trump, elected in the 1st place. jake sullivan biden speak for national security advisor. this was a moment where we realized that the russians had decided that they were going to actively interfere in the u.s. election. that they were going to intensively work to undermine the pillars of u.s. democracy. and that they were going to try to defeat hillary clinton. if it wasn't for the russians, if you know what i mean, this career boost would have come much earlier. after all, mr. sullivan served as an advisor for the hillary clinton campaign. and yes, he worked as a national security advisor to the vice president biden. and here we're looking at someone who was all for upping u.s. involvement in syria. tony blinken, the new man taking care of america's foreign relations in syria. it's tougher,

it's longer. it's going to take time to build up the syrian opposition, but we believe it can be done. our commitment is to help them to support them, to give them the training, to give them the equipment to give them the air, the power, to give them the advisor. and it all comes back to hillary, who, infamously said this about libya. we came, we saw he died, right. as you may have guessed, mr. blinken was among the star democrat diplomats who love the idea of getting libya sorted through intervention. his c.v. highlights include deputy secretary of state deputy national security advisor and national security advisor to the vice president. so moving on with deputy dream team, you simply don't deserve the position of intelligence director under joe biden. if you haven't been to a big name blood, say in the cia under obama, without further ado. here's avril haynes, the former deputy cia director also happened to serve as the deputy national

security advisor right after tony blinken. some give ms. hanes credit for making america's drone wars more transparent. her critics though, paint her with a different brush focusing on her role as the architect of the drone program. one which is associated with scores of civilian deaths. a slight stain on the record, isn't it? any great team deserves at least a few qualified veterans. this one is no exception. take john kerry, he's getting his comeback. chance to the job of special presidential envoy for climate goes to the former secretary of state. bear with me for a bit of feedback on the team from someone familiar. the incoming administration could not have chosen that to pursue now for the foreign policy and national security teams. ok, at least there are no surprises, and the world knows what to expect. and we have

a great go still to come this hour construction of a key pipeline linking russia to europe is to push ahead despite u.s. sanctions. that's story and more for you after the break. join me every thursday on the alec simon show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics. sports business, i'm showbusiness. i'll see if that is your media a reflection of reality in a world transformed what will make you feel safe?

isolation community, are you going the right way or are you being so direct? what is true? what is faith? in the world corrupted. you need to descend to join us in the depths, aura made in the shallowness. hello again. a natural gas pipeline linking russia to europe is on course to be completed despite us sanctions. the company building north stream 2 has said construction of a section off the german coast, which had been frozen for a year will soon restart. we are planning to resume by playing weren't using and

still in german. it's exclusive economic zone. this year. the ship mentioned there is no incurred off the coast of russia's kaliningrad region according to marine traffic data. last month, the u.s. state department stepped up its pressure on european firms involved in the pipeline project. the measures include penalties for vessel owners and insurers, but not the energy giants that are financing the construction. a senior german energy official who we spoke to describe washington's behavior as gangster, like currently u.s. pressure over north stream to has reached an unprecedented high. it's not tempted by the americans to lobby their economic interests to go behind the backs of their suppose apartment's. actually this behavior reminds me of the matthew, matthew c, come to the restaurant and say, we must protect you. but if you don't pay for this, we will smash all your places. and it's the same thing here. the americans say they protect us from the russians, but in fact, we don't want this protection. we want to trade with the russians. we want russian

gas. and then they say, if you don't let us protect you, we will kill you. in other words, they impose sanctions on companies, threaten them with economic collapse, and this is what's actually happening. but we must reject such methods, simply objecting to them is pointless. only real action will help the kremlin the question washington's motives in trying to block north stream to spokesman. dmitri peskov called it a display of unfair competition. north stream 2 is the 2nd stage of a pipeline network linking russia to germany via the baltic sea. now, once completed, it will pump enough gas to supply 26000000 european olds. from the i said, washington has described it as a threat to european energy security, and has urged the e.u. to ditch the project. but beach until the sollie from germany's left party told us it is crucial for berlin to see their plans through. i believe that the technical expertise that is collected and the companies involved with knots here too is

immense. they have some of the greatest engineers working on this challenge, and they have solved most of the technical challenges. the remaining legal challenge us most new product of interference of foreign interference by the united states. but they will be overcome. and the german government seems to be holding firm behind the north through to project, which is of course, all absolutely vital interests to the current transition away from coal and dark. the energy to watch renewable sources and clean natural gas. would of course be a part of the future energy mix of germany and to ensure that supply we need to. and i do believe that there are enough people in the german federal government that understand the bible importance of this project to make it through to the end.

police in argentina have raided the home of a doctor who treated the late football legend. diego maradona officers seize laptops, mobile devices, and medical records. local media are saying the physician has been charged with manslaughter. the opposed to look it has denied any wrongdoing. the doctor gave an interview in the past a revolver saying he did everything he could to help his patient and that quote, someone is trying to find a scapegoat. the footballers' 2 daughters earlier claimed their father's heart attack was caused by medical negligence. meanwhile, funds across the world have been saying their final goodbyes to more adult. died on wed and stay at the age of 6.

the diego, for the argentinians is like a hero. always have the heroes came from the heroes. she would have the argentinians needed. he always came to the defense, he showed us that it was possible to be the humblest nation and take on the most powerful enemy maraton. and to me is everything, not just in terms of food bill, but also in every aspect, the man, the food bill or his coat character. i don't think we do that. i've been following him everywhere since the world cup in 1900. i ran away from home just to watch him play

and we ever see his like again. now while many children around the world look forward to the festive season, there are others who are sent out to work long grueling days and hellish conditions . some just after they turn 5, we tell their story next in togo tough to survive, their goals

segregated by social class. people also in poverty by 1st place. if you're born into a poor family ocular born into a minority family, if you're born into a family that only has a single parent that really constrains your life, chances people die on average,

15 years old. if you're born into generational poverty, it's a tough fight. every day to meet your needs and the needs of your family. maybe the old bill group will be the best album, little boy you'll be oh,

what i would want to do? we all live in a woman. oh god. oh my god, look for when i go over the fact we are told i got no right to know what they believe, how i look like you look

at the political aisle that really well and look for how much i'm at ground 0 were let's go back to work and i will be allowed to go and also vote on me. i will eventually talk with them. i do, i can when i knew i got a 1000000 i've been able to talk about but a little cannot.
